News Journals

The evidences of Free Press in my news journals can be seen directly. It was talking about whether Google should censor some political videos. In the article, the author mentions that "while some governments think You Tube is too lax, some of its users have felt it is too restrictive". This idea challenged the governments ideas, and it is an example of free speech. It shows the two sides of arguement. If the writer's free speech is not being protected, they may not be able to say anything of their own opinions which are conflicted with the governments. In this case, citizens cannot see the different aspects of one special event, because what is reported through media is all what the government believed. The language, as well, will be influenced to be very formal and subjective, as writers cannot say anything which challenges the government's sayings. They cannot write personal views and attitudes in the articles. Beneath the surface of any words, readers are not able to infer any deeper meanings. It's quite boring if the article is filled with facts, without any thinkings.  The governments' voice would be benefit, because the purpose of restricting the free speech of reporters is to make every citizen listen to them.
